Cinnamon Sugar Cereal Squares
These are NOT a dupe of the real thing, but they are crunchy and delicious and they stay crunchy for the whole bowl. They only get better after a minute or two in milk. Wow! Credit to my fiance, Ray, for telling me my sopapillas tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Ingredients
- 168 g wheat berries, hard
- 168 g wheat berries, soft
- 7 g sea salt
- 10 g baking powder
- 30 g extra virgin olive oil
- 241 g water (HOT water)
- Cereal Ingredients:
- 14 g butter (1 tbsp, melted)
- 50 g sugar, granulated (1/4 cup)
- 5 g cinnamon, ground (2 tsp.)
Directions
-
Make the Tortillas:
-
Mill the grains into fine flour.
-
Add sea salt and baking powder, and mix together so everything is evenly distributed.
-
Pour HOT water into the flour mixture, followed by the extra virgin olive oil.
-
Mix together until well incorporated. I used a danish dough whisk.
-
Cover tightly and let rest at least 30 minutes.
-
Divide into 8 equal dough balls. I eyeballed it by forming a square and dividing into quarters, then divide each quarter in half. Roll into balls.
-
Let the dough rest another 15 minutes before rolling out into thin 9 - 10 inch circles.
-
Heat a skillet or comal to 450 F. Cook each one for about 20 second on one side, flilp, and a few seconds later flip it back over again. Cook for about a minute total before removing from the skillet.
-
Keep tortillas on a plate or something covered with a towel, so the steam stays in them, and keeps them soft.
Making the Cereal:
-
Pile the tortillas on top of each other, and cut into strips with a chef knife.
-
Cut the strips into squares using the chef knife, and add them all to a 1 gallon bag or a container with a lid.
-
Pour in the melted butter, put the lid on your container or zip your bag, and shake! Each piece should be lightly coated in butter.
-
Pour in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and shake again until evenly coated.
-
Spread the items onto a baking sheet and bake until cripsy. I did my air fryer for about 8 minutes, tossed them a bit, and baked for another 4 minutes. You could bake longer at a lower temperature - until crispy.
-
Spoon some into a bowl, and pour some cold milk over them. Enjoy! I didn't even wait for them to cool. The entire family was so happy!
